Did a brief search and came up with a lot of posts about winterizing your main, but not much on smaller motors.
My project boat came with a 05 Yam 9.9 4stroke kicker with under 200 hrs.
The motor had maintenance done in the fall, not winterized but gear lube, spark plugs and oil change done last fall. Since then I doubt the kicker saw any use this season as the main motor failed during the first trips of the year.
The kicker will likely sit for up to a year while I am working on the build. Is there anything else I can do in regards to winterizing it over this period of time to avoid any future problems?
Thanks buoyz
